When I first read the headline, I thought it was maybe a good thing. Hurray for less military spending! I guess there's maybe one policy I might agree with.
Then I read the article and found the little "woke" nugget you mentioned. Seriously, conservatives are just completely fucked... I know people in the military and it's anything but woke! I'd like to see ANY of these fucking woke-saying assholes do a single day of basic training or handle even a few hours on an exercise!
Of course we all know that "warrior culture" in this context means kicking out anyone who's not a "straight" white male. Because nothing says warrior like being toxicly insecure about ones sexuality.
I just wish it meant bringing in Klingon codes of honour.
"Warrior culture" means willing to commit war crimes at the direction of the government, without thought, hesitation or remorse.
We've seen "warrior culture" in action. It's why we have professional standing armies that are (supposed to be) well paid, well equipped and supported. Because the alternative--underpaid mercenaries with scorching cases of PTSD--never ever ends well.
